If you are looking for a degree to get a government job, or to bill insurance companies for your services, or get a job in an agency financed through medical, medicare or other government programs, we strongly recommend that you do not sign this enrollment form, and look for a school aligned with the mainstream. BOHI is appropriate for individuals that want to create their own business and or private practice, and/or value the unique information presented in our courses for personal growth or professional reasons.
______ (Initials)

Transferring to Another University: If you are planning to continue your studies in another University, and you expect they will validate what you studied with us, we want to caution you: it is likely that due to the nature of our school and programs, other universities, especially mainstream universities, will not validate your studies at BOHI. You may want to check with them first.
